OK, OK, OK! I have heard you! You are upset that I haven’t blogged in…umm….about 8 months! I apologize for that. My only excuse is that being the mom of toddler is a lot of hard work. Once he is in bed, I totally tune out in front of the TV or I’m working on school stuff because I wanted to get out of work on time. But it is summer time now and I no longer have school as an excuse (except I’m teaching summer school starting next week).
So very quickly I’ll give you a run down of our year thus far. I’m going to make it a serious goal of mine to carve out some more blogging time!
January: Evan turned one. We celebrated with a small party of close family and friends. Poor thing was sick as could be with the worst ear infection to date! It was his 4th or 5th ear infections since October and he really felt miserable, but he was a trooper and played, ate, and opened presents. And of course it was a sock monkey theme.
February: Evan had ear tubes put in his ears. We had had it up to our…well ears… with the ear infections. At his 12 month check up I finally asked the doctor if it would be worth our time to visit an ENT. He said sure. The ENT said it was not a question; that he needed tubes ASAP. He had his surgery on the 14th and it was a tough recovery, but we haven’t had a single ear infection since.
March: We enjoyed some time with Evan and watching him grow. We didn’t really do anything special, but with the weather starting to get nice, his love of the outdoors began! He would actually stand at the back door and scream “OUT” until someone went outside with him.
April: We all went on a cruise with my parents. We sailed out of Puerto Rico and then hit the islands of St. Croix, St. Marteen, St. Lucia, Antigua, and Barbados. Evan did great. He was a huge hit on the ship with his blonde hair and blue eyes. He even got all dressed up for formal night! Scott and I enjoyed the cruise so much that we decided to book one for just the two of us next January 
May: We spent more time outside and took a trip to the beach to see Scott’s parents, who have recently relocated to the beach house permanently. Our beach trip included miniature golf, time with cousins, and time in the pool.
June: We’re at the beach now. The mornings at the beach have been great. The water has been comfortable, the beach pretty empty. Evan wasn’t sure of the wet sand shifting under his feet when the waves, but he did OK with the sand. He even managed to eat a good amount of it. We gave the beach a break today and just enjoyed the pool. He loves games in the pool, especially rocket ship and whirlpool (mommy made games of course).
That’s the quick version of our year so far. My next post will be just a picture post! So, now I have blogged and your requests have been heard!
